Dear Cornbread Diary...

Well, we did it, finally! Yes, we cooked a non traditional Christmas right out on the back veranda. The only thing bad about our holiday meal was my sweet lil' pups were watching in agony wanting to partake of our 'to Di for' feast. They did manage to sucker us out of a few hushpuppies and sweet potatoe fries however, no go on the Aussie Beer battered fried catfish we served up! It was absolutely Di vine! Baked beans and homemade tartar sauce were big hits as well. Hope y'all had a very Merry Christmas meal and I do believe we'll go even more non traditional for Easter!!!

Until next time, sweet Diary...May all your cornbread dreams come true, 

Love, Di

...and here's how to make that Aussie Beer Battered Catfish:

4 big ole catfish fillets
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
Salt and pepper
1 cup flour
More salt and pepper
1(12)oz beer 

1. First coat the fillets in cornmeal
2.  Salt and pepper to taste
3.  Mix flour, more salt and pepper, and beer together in a bowl. Dredge fish in batter and shake off excess. Fry at 375 degrees in a big pot of clean vegetable oil till brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels. And, don't forget to serve up those little excess crispys!
